EBV Elektronik has introduced sensorTAG, an innovative product that demonstrates various sensing technologies around a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication link in a small form factor.
The package includes a battery-powered sensor hub and a USB-to-BLE nanoDONGLE measuring 9 x 17 mm sensorTAG provides an industry-standard sensor portfolio (STMicroelectronics, Freescale Semiconductor, Texas Instruments) combined with TI BLE connectivity, and includes EBV system knowledge and support for related software and hardware. An NXP humidity/light sensor is also featured as a demonstration device.
The sensors chosen by EBV represent a complete offering enabled for low-power operation and are either ‘high-runners’ in the industry or bring innovative and exciting features for the latest applications. The selected products are MEMS (micro electromechanical systems) including accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer or relative humidity plus light sensor; and thermopile (contactless infrared temperature measurement) enabling an important range of physical parameter monitoring.
BLE is an increasingly adopted standard for sensor-based applications, and with Android’s recently announced official support on top of the already implemented Apple IOS, BLE is becoming highly attractive to the consumer and medical markets, mainly due to its low-power capabilities and associated low cost.
EBV’s sensorTAG monitor enables easy startup and the ability to demonstrate all board features, while support of TI’s BTool enables deeper BLE protocol analysis.
